Vehicles confiscated in occupied/conquered countries were almost immediately stripped of their civilian registrations and issued military registration plates. I suspect there was no thought of returning said vehicles to their original owners.
Next, it seems the vehicles confiscated by the WH were robust cars and trucks such as American Chev and Ford, French Renault and Citroen and so on.

Bill, there is not a lot I can add to your research, other than this photo which I found on
anpfotoarchief.nl. It shows trucks being bought (requisitioned?) by the German authorities. June 1940, Amsterdam, Holland.
